First, multiply by 3 on both sides:
Divide by 7:
So,
k = 9
I am pretty sure it is linear decrease,
Answer:
-8x^12
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have an exponent outside of parenthesis, it is raising everything in the parenthesis to that exponent (in this case, the third). The first step to solve this is to multiply the exponents in the parenthesis by 3. This is called the power of a power rule.
-2 is being raised to the first power. 1x3 = 3, and x is being raised to the fourth power. 4x3 = 12, so you now have:
-2^3x^12
You can simplify -2^3: -2 x -2 x -2 = -8
This leaves you with -8x^12
You can check this by putting -8x^12 and (-2x^4)^3 into a graphing calculator. You know that you simplified correctly if they show the same graphs.
18 would be the 7th so... hope it helps
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You know the intercepts occur at x = 0, so set each part of the factored form equal to zero and solve for x.
The first part, plain X = 0, so X = 0 is a root, an x-intercept
The second part (X-2)^2 = 0, so X = 2 is another root. Since the function is being squared, this root will happen twice. The function crosses this root twice.
The third part (x+4) = 0, so x = -4 is another root.
Finally, (x+1) so x = -1 is another root.
So you have X = 0, X = 2, X = -4, X = -1 as your x-intercepts
